Chapter 50 Finding JJ
The sound below finally stopped. Jack lowered his head and saw the ogre dragging the man's body towards the side of the alley.
Juno is right. These monsters do have the habit of concentrating on eating, so JJ's chances of survival are much greater.
The ogre left, and Juno finally couldn't hold on any longer. The two of them fell to the ground, feeling exhausted as if they had narrowly escaped death.
At this time, Jack had a very good impression of Juno. This woman was so strong and frightening. She was injured and fought the ogre alone. She had been gritting her teeth in the situation just now. Jack admired this woman.
"Let's go."
Jack wanted to let Juno rest for a while, but Juno urged him first. The longer he waited, the less likely JJ would survive.
Jack made a mark on the ground. He had marked many forks before, otherwise it would be completely unreliable to rely on memory for such a complex terrain.
Next, they should just follow the blood stains on the ground and find the place where the ogres gather to eat.
Soon, Jack's mind's eye detected a spacious hall in front of him. There was the sound of chewing in the darkness, and what he smelled in his nose was a disgusting stench. In his mind's eye's field of vision, the ground was littered with the bones of various animals.
The two of them looked at each other, and it seemed that this was where they were.
Jack did not dare to enter rashly. He stood at the entrance of the cave and scanned in the direction of the sound. He soon saw a shocking scene. In a corner, seven or eight ogres were eating a corpse on the ground.
.
But that corpse was not JJ, because my heart saw that not far from the monsters, JJ was hiding behind a rock and shivering.
The sour chewing sound could be heard endlessly. Jack walked over lightly and then fiercely covered JJ's mouth.
JJ was shocked, and she screamed but was covered by Jack to prevent her from screaming out.
Jack didn't dare to speak. The monster was too close here. He turned on the flashlight and let JJ see his face clearly. JJ then stopped struggling and his eyes were covered with mist.
Jack made a silent gesture towards her, and when she nodded, he let go of her mouth.
Tears flowed down from JJ's eyes unsatisfactorily, and she held back to keep herself from crying.
Jack thought to himself that this was a normal reaction. Even if she is a policewoman, she has seen many life and death situations, but it is normal to be afraid when facing unknown monsters.
People like Juno are the outliers.
He waved to JJ to follow, and the two of them walked out quietly without turning off the flashlight. He had a good idea, but JJ couldn't.
The ogres were eating just a few meters away from them, and any noise might alert them.
The two walked cautiously. The place was empty and lonely, and the sound of the ogre tearing flesh and blood while eating echoed, as if in their ears.
The two walked very slowly, not wanting to disturb any ogres...
In movies, accidents are bound to happen at times like this, and then the accident really happens.
Although JJ was careful, he accidentally stepped on a bone when leaving. The crisp sound when the bone broke was as eye-catching in the silent cave as morning bells and evening drums.
Both of them looked in the direction of the ogre, as if someone had cast a restraining spell on them.
Under the aperture of the flashlight, the several ogres who were eating all raised their heads. Their all-white eyes looked indescribably weird, and their ears twitched, as if they were investigating the surrounding situation.
At this time, the three of them were extremely nervous. Jack held JJ's hand, and Juno was waiting at the entrance of the cave. All three of them did not dare to move.
The ogre in the distance let out a strange roar, seeming to be confused. It happened that at this time, there was something wrong with the flashlight. The aperture flashed for a few times and then went out strangely, and the entire space was swallowed up by darkness.
Is it such a coincidence?
The sudden darkness made the three of them have their heads pounding. Except for Jack, the other two were completely blind.
JJ and Jack didn't dare to move, they were too close, and Juno at the entrance of the cave went to fumble for the light switch on the helmet.
There was a sound of movement in the darkness, followed by the sound of footsteps.
In Jack's mind's eye, an ogre gave up on food and crawled step by step towards where the people were.
Only then did he realize that the ogres here seemed stronger than the ones he had seen before. The one in front of him was larger than the ones he had seen before.
The ogre crawled over step by step, and then stopped in front of the two of them. His nose was sniffing something, and everyone could even smell the fishy smell coming from his nasal cavity.
Jack squeezed JJ's hand and told her to calm down. JJ was very upbeat and didn't make a sound.
Then, the lights came on, and it was Juno who turned on the headlights.
At this time, the ogre was only half a meter away from JJ. JJ was so frightened that he almost screamed when he saw such an ugly face.
Danglanglang~~
At the entrance of the cave, Juno threw a stone in the other direction. The ogre was immediately attracted and ran over in a bound.
Jack took the opportunity to pull JJ towards the cave entrance quickly.
"Save...save me..."
Suddenly, a faint human voice sounded.
It was the corpse that was being eaten. Jack looked at the corpse, and then he realized that the corpse being eaten was actually the kidnapped murderer's brother.
The murderer's brother was obviously not dead. Seeing the light, he burst out with the will to live, but Jack had no intention of saving him. Not to mention that he was incapable now, even if he had the ability, he would not save such a scum. If Jack thought
, killing him with one shot was a sign of kindness to him. To treat such a person, we need the current torture.
The murderer's brother's eyes were shining with the desire for life. But when he saw Jack and Jack just glanced at him and turned away, the last trace of his belief in survival was extinguished, and his eyes finally slowly dimmed.
came down and eventually turned into a real corpse.
The three of them quietly exited the cave entrance and ran away. Their only thought was to get as far away from there as possible.
After running a long distance, no ogre caught up with them, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you... thank you..."
JJ's gratitude comes from the bottom of her heart. Without Jack and Juno, she would definitely be dead.
"This is Juno."
Jack introduced the two of them to each other, and now he is very happy to team up with Juno. If it hadn't been for her just now, the two of them would never have escaped so easily.
"What do we do now?"
"I know a way out. These monsters go to the ground to hunt. We can find a way to escape from there."
The speaker is Juno.
"It's useless, the exit was already collapsed when I came in."
Jack could only tell them this fact with regret.
"But I came in from an entrance next to it, and I marked it along the way, and we left from there."
With hope of survival, the three people's morale was greatly boosted.
The three of them walked together, and what they had to do now was very simple, which was to find the marks left along the way and then return the same way.
"Okay, let's take a rest here..."
Jack found a safe corner and signaled the others to take a break. Juno's leg injury became more and more serious. Her calf had been penetrated by a mountaineering pickaxe before. It was a miracle to Jack that she could survive such a serious injury.<
/p>
Jack tried the walkie-talkie, but there was still no signal. Not long after he entered the cave, the walkie-talkie lost its function.
Jack had an emergency kit with him, and JJ took out the gauze inside to bandage Juno's wound.
Chapter completed!
